Is it okay to get rid of a dog after 2 years?

when new circumstances develop. Had since 8 week old.

Update: As a human being, as time changes I have other more important responsibilities in my life than are more important than a dog. It's fine if a lot of owners stay at the same stage all their lives and can devote the time for the animal but no one can predict the future and what new circumstances may arise.

I'm sorry you're getting such negative answers. Yeah, it'd be preferable if you could keep the dog, but it doesn't immediately sound like you've bonded really closely with it (just an impression from your brief phrasing, I might be wrong), and if you don't think you can provide it with the best, or even a good, doggy life any more, then maybe finding it another home might be best for the both of you. It's not morally repugnant. It would be morally repugnant to put down a healthy dog, though.

Is it ok to get rid of a child after 2yrs?
People need to understand bringing an animal into your household is a huge responsibility. Find the dog a new home where he/she will get more attention and more love.

No a dog bonds with there owner it's incredibly unfair to the dog. And you should've thought about it before getting a dog and dogs aren't that's had to handle I have a job I do wresling training and body training 4 times a week and I can still have time for my dog you are just being incredibly selfish that's just my opinion

NO! When you get a dog it is a life time commitment. Just like having a child. It is yours for life. If you got problems with the dog, train it. If you have to move, find a place that allows dogs. NO APARTMENT. Some apartments don't even allow children.

You'd have to be very cold hearted if you can do this. Something I could never do. Every dog I have acquired had it's last 'forever home' with me.
